iTunes Exclusive Episode Youth

The following is a sooner orgator production.
Good morning!
Greetings, Empire member and our members.
If you are hearing my voice, it means the following conditions have been met.
It means at least once in your life you have listened to the Clubhouse podcast live every
Sunday, night, seventies to a four pacific, your one-stop shop for all things sports and
entertainment.
It also means you subscribe on iTunes because it's time for another.
Hey, June 6th, close you.
Welcome.
This is the 167th one of these, I think, somewhere in that neighborhood.
My name is Rob, I'm the executive producer of the Clubhouse podcast and I am reminded
every morning when the day when the alarm goes off that youth is long gone.
I'm not alone for this episode, Jordan, me across the desk is my co-host and a man
who I will not make an age joke out of.
I'm going to spare him on this one, he is Chad, welcome, sir.
Write this date down, and we've done that before, you, you, you know, good and well that
you will take any and every opportunity to take a shot at how much I've got a 97% hit
right.
Yes.
So you'll have to pardon me if I'm shocked.
Also, joining me across the desk is the official fact checker of this show and a guy
that's going to have to kind of drive the boat a little bit in this particular episode
because he's going to be the reviewer in this.
You may know in this fun, don, go, but his mom and name him, Don Ford, I'm going to
call him, Don Ford.
Welcome.
You know, the background song is youth of a nation, P.O.D.
Big sum of concert ones at Osfast, they were incredible.
Big fan.
Oh, yeah.
It's song.
It's a movie.
Whatever we do one of these, it's to review something and this is no exception.
Today, I can't even say, we don't, I'm not going to ask down a bunch of questions
about a brand new film directed by Paolo Sorrentino, I want to name Paolo.
Paolo.
It's very, very, I don't know, it's very European.
He's done a lot of writing, he's done a lot of directing.
He did a TV masonry is called the young Pope.
Not a lot in this country, of course, a lot of Italian because he is Italian.
But he also did, he did a film called this must be the place with Sean Penn.
But basically, here's what you need to know, a retired orchestra conductor is on holiday
with his daughter and his film director best friend in the Alps, when he receives an invitation
from Queen Elizabeth II to perform for Prince Philip's birthday.
Before we start this whole thing, yes, sir.
We got to think Ashden, Candace, everybody at Marocca or Biden is to this thing, even
no, I was only able to attend, but thank you so much.
We love this guy.
More than one that we had to kind of divide and conquer.
But so, thanks for the invite, you're so great to us.
Thank you so much, guys.
In this film, Harvey Kitesel, Michael Kane, Paul Dano, Rachel, Bob, he's good.
She is also in this, about she's never heard that before.
This is actually up for two golden globes, Jane Fonda nominated by lead supporting actress
and David Lang for Best Original Song Motion Picture Score for Simple Song No. 3.
So, got some nods here, down, this thing runs two hours and four minutes.
Yes, what did you think of the story itself?
There are in the first 20 minutes, I was really into this.
And I also saw the trailer and I also saw what they put in, like, I'm DB about what
the film is about and everything, so as interesting, to me, you know, me and my days
of, you know, I'm Billings Montana, you know, orchestra of my viola and all that stuff,
which has been well documented.
Well documented, yes, it is.
So, I haven't really interested, but that really wasn't most of the plot.
That was only a minor part of the plot.
The storyline is more of a, let's look into our lives kind of thing, and look into
our careers of what's going on, what has been.
Michael King plays his character who's like this world renowned orchestra director
who's retired.
He's done.
He's taken a summer holiday at this fancy resort where I like the high rollers go to
to spend the summer, he meets up with Kytel's character who's like one of those directors
was kind of been, he has time has passed, but you guys don't have a huge fan of that.
Yeah, Kytel, he's pulled fiction enough, so he's the one, yeah, exactly.
So those actors really had me interested, but the film is real R.C., I got you warny on that.
There's a little bit of CGI, but not my only couple scenes, okay.
Most of it are the nature shots and everything like that.
The nature was incredible.
The shots, you know, wherever they feel, I'm not sure they filmed them, but they're
saying they're in Swiss Alps, incredible, beautiful nature out there.
And there's some scenes at this, like at this resort, every night there's some
kind of performance for the guests there.
And they showed some really cool things at night, like somebody who's able to do a
great artwork of bubbles, I mean, like you stuff that will your mind, you know.
Okay.
So that really had interested, and fortunately when it came to the storyline, as much as I love
Kytel, as much as I love Kytel, and as much as I love orchestra, because that's only
basically the beginning and the end.
Okay.
The it dragged.
Really?
Yeah.
It dragged incredibly, incredibly too much for me.
This thing halfway through, I'm going, this is getting bad, because I had me interested
and really did what's going on.
Now there are some incredible scenes, there's a couple scenes in the film where, like
King, he says, he tells the embassy for the queen, why he's not, he doesn't want
to do the performance.
And when he finally lets it out, incredible scene there.
Okay.
Also, Jane found his only in like a couple scenes, but she did very good there.
Oh, she got, I mean, yeah, go and go, so there's a bunch of wise as his daughter.
So vice, vice, yeah, she, she really knows this, you know, great, currently.
Yeah.
We did some incredible scenes.
I think, vice, Rachel should have got the nomination for the best supporting over
Jane.
Really?
Yeah.
I mean, the great actress.
Yeah.
We were actually talking after we saw Spector.
We were wondering, you know, where she's been.
Well, now she's got a new moving out.
Yeah.
So, but as much as there were those incredible emotional scenes that sometimes just hit
you, it did not make up for the too much art put in there.
There's a lot of scenes that easily, easily, I thought could have been cut out.
Really?
This, I honestly, like, time wise, how many half hour really?
Really?
Yeah, I'll be honest with you.
25% of the film.
Yeah.
You would, you would honestly, on the watch gauge, if I know you as well as I do, if you
had the same thought, I said, yeah, you would be looking at your watch probably, first
time, probably 20, 30 minutes in, then about every 10 minutes.
Really.
Yeah.
Wow.
I mean, I just thought it was so short of what this was supposed to really be about.
Yes, he deals with, you know, will he do that final
performance for the queen, you know, but that's just the basic beginning and the end.
The rest is just looking at life, talking, you know, reflecting back, like Kytel, his
character is this great director who's done some incredible stuff, but his last couple
things just flopped.
And Fonda basically says, I don't know if I want to do this next film because you're
not, you don't have it.
You don't have the today, now a day.
Okay.
Something else.
So, that's where they're doing with their past lives and everything like that.
The family issues with Cain and Rachel, it really would deepen to some of that stuff,
but just the stuff in between the important stuff, a lot of filler material, a lot of
artsy filler material inside of that.
Chad in the input here.
Fair enough.
I've got nothing.
Okay, I just wasn't sure anyway, if you, I know that Don and I have been kind of focused
on this conversation.
I don't want you to, was there any questions that you had, don't know, no, no, no.
But I mean, how do you feel though when it comes to Sorrentino's vision of the film,
did you feel that visually it worked for you?
Like I said, visually, yes, because you said there was a little bit of CGI work, which
I was kind of surprising.
Yeah, and it's only in a couple scenes, you could say where they had the CGI, where
Michael, where Cain's character is kind of, thinks it's like, what's going on here
than you realize, it's kind of like a dream where he's looking, reflecting in his life.
I don't want to have too much away, but that scene, the poster of the youth with him walking
with the, in the dark and stuff like that, on the water, that's where the CGI comes in,
they get something like that.
I want to see, and that's where it's really, really cool.
I don't want to be in spoiler free, but the look, the resort, you, you wouldn't want
to visit the place.
I mean, the place was really cool.
They showed it very well.
It's one of those artsy resorts, but especially the nature scenes, and you know how I'm
at nature scenes, and they really walked it in on that.
So I mean, visually, it was good.
The acting, there's great chemistry between Cain and Cytel, of course.
You put those two together, you know, you're going to get what those guys.
So I mean, I'm not really looking down at the acting.
I'm just looking my biggest turnoff, which I think, how great the acting was, how great
the scenery was, did not make up for all the film or material, because there's times
and Satan wins, it's just going to end.
This is just too long, too much, too much filler in between.
Fair enough.
Yeah.
All right.
Anything else you want to do for the final analysis?
You guys have any questions?
I think you've got to cover the dress.
Great job.
Okay.
The way we do the final analysis on this show, we don't give you thumbs-up thumbs-down.
We don't give you stars.
We don't give you one to ten.
We don't give you letter grades.
We like to go a little bit further than that.
I'm going to ask down two questions.
Question number one is, would you see this film again?
If the answer is no, then we're done here.
If the answer is yes, then I'm going to ask how will it's the farcey going to go?
Will he pay full price?
Twilight, Matt and A, early morning, second run at the dollar theater.
Would you venture away from your house to get it from red box?
Would you stream it on Netflix?
Would you wait for it on cable?
Don't.
Would you see this film again?
Because great idea of the acting was in the scenery, no.
Then we're done here.
We're done.
He would not recommend this.
And you know, it's going to be honest.
Yeah.
That's all we've ever asked of it.
As much as we love them.
And they just want to our opinion, again, we got to think of it.
Yeah.
We got to think Ashton, Candace, everybody in Marock, Fox search lights, pictures,
her advice to this thing.
They're so incredibly well.
That's great.
We really appreciate everything they do.
All right.
Anything else you want to add?
No.
No.
